Description

From the comment in ClassLoaderBase

/**
 * Base class loader that defines couple shared constants used
 * by sub-classes. It also defined method getClassLoadingLock for parallel
 * class loading and JDK 1.6 support. This method (getClassLoadingLock)
 * is similar to the same method in the base class Java ClassLoader
 * introduced in JDK 1.7, but not in JDK 1.6.
 */

We've dropped JDK6 support, so let's see if we can post a red-patch.
